The Super Eagles have been branded as a “scam” by disappointed Nigerians following their woeful performance against Madagascar in the TOTALAFCON2019 on Sunday.
Nigeria was convincingly beaten 2-0 by debutants Madagascar whose bravery and discipline earned them a deserved shock and historic win over their highly rated counterparts.
With the result, Madagascar finished top of Group B with seven points, ahead of Nigeria in second on six points.
This development has not gone down quite well with Nigerians who have taken to their social media accounts to voice their anger and shock.
Here are some of their reactions;
Madagascar top the Group that has Nigeria? Not only that, they beat Nigeria 2 nil. What a day to be a supporter of Super Eagles! My head is down.

Wow! So Afcon debutants Madagascar are actually going to win and keep a clean sheet against three-time Afcon champions Nigeria. #TotalAFCON2019 #NGAMAD

Looking at the Nigerian team, you'll think there's depth..... My brother na scam

After failing to truly test the Madagascar goalkeeper, the Super Eagles have been termed as a “scam” and “overrated”.

Franco-German coach Gernot Rohr may have qualified for the round of 16 with a game to spare but the performance today against the debutants has led to some hard talk.
More questions for Rohr than he perhaps has answers for;
As usual, after every poor performance and result, there will be calls for some players to step aside, this time, here is a message for Ahmed Musa and captain, John Mikel Obi.
Now, here we have a comprehensive take on the game and of course, player rating.
